The Durham TRAGEDY,

WABASH, IND, Feb. 13.-Mrs. Henry Dun
ham, of Kosciuski County, whose family
was so horribly murdered last week,
to-day fully recovered consciousness
and sat up in bed. Her mind is clear at
last, and she told the story of the trag.
edy in clear manner, which left no room
for doubt. The story is being carefully
guarded, but your correspondent heard
t ON a reliable source that it duplicates
Plew alone as the murderer. A mob is
ready to form at a few moments notice
when Mrs, Dunham's story comes out,
which will march to Warsaw after Plew
Sheriff Stevenson is prepared to repel
raiders with strong posse. The evil
dence against John Wiltcomb, who was
arrested yesterday as an accomplice Of
Plew, is rather flimsy, and he will probab.
ly prove an alibi.

MICHIGAN FLOODS.
The Mad Waters Causing Great
Damage.
Buildings at Lyons Washed Away and tho
People Panic-Stricken.

LYONS, MICH, Feb. 1.-THE food here is
simply terrible. A panic has seized some
Of the people, and it is impossible to get
estimates of the losses. The water in some
places is four feet deep in many residences
and the same state Of affairs prevails in
store-rooms. Every body is moving, or
preparing to move. Up to last night three
buildings had been washed away and de-
molished, and many others were
badly damaged. Alexander McFarlane's
family are sick and cut off from
assistance. The Herald Office has
been boated to higher quarters, but the
paper will be published as usual. Rain
fell in torrents until about midnight, when
it changed to snow, and by daylight fully
eight inches of snow and sleet had fallen.
There is regular northeastern, with
twenty-mile wind. The water has risen
two feet in the last four hours and is still
rising. The people are worn out working
night and day to save their property. The
Maple and Grand rivers unite here, and
both are raging. Should the Lansing ice
reach here before the gorge gives way all
the business places on the north side Of
Main street will be washed away. A rough
estimate of the damage makes the aggre-
gate between $4,000 and 100000 Fred
Winters, of Charlotte, was drowned when
trying to cross the Thornapple river.
THREE RIVERS, MICH, Feb. 11.-This city
is surrounded with water. All the shops
have been closed. The immense lumber
piles of Roberts, Thorp Il Co., and those
belonging to Vosburg are afloat. The Lake
Shore track is in great danger Of being
washed away.
Owosso, MICH, Feb. 11.-At two o'clock
this afternoon the water was still rising.
Large quantities of lumber have been
swept away. The residences along the
river are flooded, and the inmates have
moved into the second stories. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the loss yet, but it
will run well up into the thousands.

GENERAL BOULANGER.
Has Leader Been Found to Work Frances
Revenge on the Hated Teuton?

BERLIN, Feb. 10.-The Berli,er Nachriclter
has authentic information that General
Boulanger, French Minister of War, is
preparing for movement Of the troops to
the eastern frontier. Four battalions Of
infantry are to go to Verdun and Toul, and
quarters are being prepared to receive
them. A brigade of cavalry will also go
to Verdun, and provision trains to Toul.
Four battalions in Algiers have been or
dered to France. General Boulanger has
instructed the Military Railway Commit
tee to remain in permanent session. The
Berlin Posts Paris correspondent writes:
A deceptive calm followed your recent
article referring to General Boulanger,
but he is now more powerful than ever.
Even his former opponents are turning
toward him as the rising sun, finding it
impossible to struggle against the grow
ing popularity of the man who is regard
ed by the masses as the long expected
liberator The whole country is anxious
for revanche, and is arming silently, but
with the evident belief that the hour is
coming

Statement of a Young Woman, Who Says
Her Husband Was One of the McMunn
Rescuers, and Gives the Names Of tho
Others Who Were in the Fight.
MAssILLoN, o., Feb. 13-Late last night
a young, well-dressed and intelligent
woman went before Mayor Fratz and made
a voluntary and volumnous statement,
which is regarded as an important clew
to at least the identity of the thugs
who assaulted Hulligan and Hoehne at
Ravenna. She gave her name as Margery
Robinson, wife of Edward Robinson,
nephew Of John Robinson, the circus man,
and says she was at Jennie Rogers house,
1913 Third avenue, Pittsburgh, and assisted
to secrete the fur wraps stolen
from Benedict & Ruedy, Cleveland,
when they were taken there in trunks by
an expressman. Her story condensed is
that regularly organized gang Of crooks,
numbering nineteen, have made Rogers
house their resort, and that three Of them,
Tom Hoddy, Joe Johnson, Smith Carson
and her husband, went to Alliance, via TT.
Wayne road, the evening preceding the
rescue Of McMunn; that they returned to
l. lollOWluS VuOuuuy dhu OAoe
johnson, who was shot in the encounter,
went to Harrisburg and died there from
the wound. She says that
officers searched Rogers house
three different times while the furs were
there and that they were stored in cup
boards and an ice box in the basement In
explanation as to why she came here,
which was on Friday morning, to disclose
the tale, she said the gang had threatened
her life; that she did not intend from fear
to give them away, but that after she came
out Of the opera-house last night she saw
her husband, Hoddy and Carson on the
street and knew they were after her. She
appealed to the mayor for protection, and
gladly consented to be confined in the city
prison, where she now is, and will be de-
tanned until Monday evening awaiting
response from word sent to the chief OF
police of Pittsburgh. Minute descriptions
were given of the trio, but diligent search
failed to find them. A lengthy interview
was had with the woman tonight She is
undoubtedly Of sound mind, and exacted
promise that her name should not be used
in connection with any report of her state
ment.

Mauna Loa in Active Eruption.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 10.-The latest ad-
vices from Honolulu state that on January
IS the volcano Mauna Loa began emitting
fire, smoke and lava, and has continued
without ceasing since. The lava is rum
ming toward the sea, and unless its course
is changed will do no serious damage.
Rev. j. D. Paris writes from
there has been one continuous series Of
rthquakes-tremulou jars, with pretty
hard shakes interspersed, running into
each other-and our house has seemed like
a little craft or bubble floating on wave
chopped sea. While / write my table
rocks so that it is with difficulty can keep
my seat and hold my pen."

lincoln's Hearse Burned,

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10.-Besides the pecuniary
loss which resulted last night from the de.
struction of Jesse Arnot's livery stable,
one loss was suffered, which is irrepar-
able. The hearse in which the remains of
President Abraham Lincoln were conveyed
to their last resting place was consumed
in the flames. This hearse was built by
Mr.. Arnot for that especial purpose, and
since that day has never been out Of the
building. Mr.. Arnot had received many Of
fers for this vehicle, but has always re-
fused to part with it, preferring to retain
it as sacred relic.

Arrested for the Durham Murder.

WARSAW, IND, Feb. 10.-Joe Plew was
arrested at Syracuse Station, a few miles
east of the scene of the Durham murder
and lodged in Jail here. Durham's pocket
book and $50 were found on
Plew's person. The pocket-book has
been fully identified, and from
his actions at the Syracuse depot there is
no doubt he was waiting for train. He
was farmland in the employ of Dur
ham, and two weeks ago they had quar-
rel and Plew was discharged. He threat
ened to get even. Mrs. Durham is growing
stronger, but still unconscious.

VOIcanos in Guatemala,

4 report has been sent to the govern
ment of Guatemala by Mr., Edwin Rock
strock, who was appointed to visit TOtoni-
capan, where volcanic disturbances have
occurred daily since July of last year.
Totonicapan is in valley, the drainage
from which forms the River Pla, one of the
afiluentS of the Samala. The valley is in
closed by high mountains, which attain
their greatest elevation at the northeast
and south. The formation is all volcanic
and the rocks are covered with volcanic
dust and ashes, through which the riyu-
lets have deep beds. To the south of the
city there are numerous hot springs, some
of which attain a temperature of 1i0o.
The nearest volcanoes are Cerro, One
mazda and Alitlan, from both Of which
smoke and sulphurous vapors frequently
issue. Thus Totonicapan is situated in an
essentially volcanic region, which by no
means signifies that new volcano must
consequently form there. At depth of
some miles the conditions necessary TO
produce the phenomena mentioned un-
doubtedly exist, but this by no means in
dicates that new volcano is in course of
formation. 1t may, however, be eonject=
ured, from the fact that the greatest ac=
tiTity is exhibited during the rainy sea-
son, that the water filtrates through tho
upper crusts and reaches the volcanic CEN
ter.-PRamd Cor. n. !. Sun.

AT MGLYNN'S CHURCH.
DIR. McGlynn's Successor HAS Hard
Time of 1t.

DIR. McGlynn's Successor Ifas II Hard
Time of 1t.
NEW YORK, January l6.-TO-day was
an exciting one in the history of the par
ish of st. Stephens Roman Catholic
church in this city. The news
that Father Donnelly had been
appointed successor to Rev. DIR.
McGlynn, the pastor, brought immense
throngs of people to the sacred edifcc
Crowds gathered around the doors and
excidedly declaimed against the removal
of the pastor. The servants ut the rectory
were themost indignant. On Father Don
nelly'S arrival yesterday they refused to
admit him by the front door, and he gained
admission through the basement and pass
ell the night in the rectOry, while the only
sleeping place that Father Donnelly could
yet from the domestics was cot
bed hastily put up in the parlOr
1t was understood Father DOnnelly
would announce his appointment at mass
to-day. The 80 a. m. was thinly at
tended, Father Curran celebrating. There
was no open trouble. Father McGlynn was
present at the morning masses, occupying
pew amSng the COMMITMENTS
like any layman. During one of
the masses Father DOnnely made bow of
church slowly, as siflooking for recognition
from his new parishoners. No one paid
attention to him or inclined their heads for
his blessing. The collector refused to
serve, 40 no collection was taken.

placed implicit confidence in him, have by
their votes elected him to fill the highest
State Office, and as n return for their trust
have only asked that he give them good
administration, and follow that course
which will make his party confident and
strong. In view of these facts the Gov
ernor would certainly look with contempt
upon any such scheme OF any persons
who should suggest any such thing to him.
NOr can we believe that the Secretary of
State is referred to, nor the Auditor, nor
Treasurer, nor Attorney General, nor State
Superintendent of Schools, nor any other
prominent official in Charleston. We be-
lieye them all consistent Democrats, who
are anxious to see the party united and
strengthened, rather than disintegrated ard
weakened.
Will the Star be more explicit and tell
US why it draws the distinction between
lobbyists from abroad and lobbyists living
at Charleston with such emphasis when it
says: ''Or worse still, when lobbyists liv-
ing here in Charleston try to dismember
the party?"

WAsHINToS, ID. c., January l6.-It is
understood that the Internal Revenue Office
is at least determined to return TO good old
Democratic methods Of administration.
The Republican special Internal Revenue
agents are to go and their places are to be
filled by Stalwart Democratic SUCCESSORS.
The designations of three OF them have al
ready been called for and have been re-
ceived. They are Day, Plummcr and Mar
win. They are all old officers and il has
been discovered that il it is necessary to
have q Democratic head to this office, tits
just as necessary that the subordi-
mates should he Democrats. Good
administration 80 far ~ this
spasm in the internal revenue bureau
goes seems 10 require it. No charges have
been made against these men. On the
contrary, the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue was man enough TO say that there
was no disposition to make any reflections
upon their efficiency or integrity. The
contrary was true. They were men of
honor, integrity, and were efficient, and
some of them have been given letters TO
that effect. They have been simply and
frankly told that their places were wanted
for Democrats, and that was all there was
of it. And they have gone. The entire
force of special agents is to bc removed in
hatchcs of about three at time, and the
list for the next month has already been
prepared
